    SOAPBOX:

    2E0TQR   
    Really enjoyable. Thank you

    G0AAA   
    100W FT1000MP dipole at 65ft

    G0FYX   
    Took a bit of getting used to. Enjoyable

    G0KYS   
    My first sprint.   Good fun, and a refreshing change to the normal format

    G0MTN   
    Certainly my half hour of operating was fun and frantic, not sure if this would last for the 90 mins

    G0VGS   
    Great fun, even managed to confound the IQ zeros :)

    G3LIK   
    Too much QRN which was S9 and with two hearing aids very difficult to hear stations. Lots of continental QRM and lots of actual QSO's not in the contest made it very difficult.

    G3RWL   
    If they're all as slow as this I won't bother next time

    G3TXF   
    Again as on CW, there's a lack of critical mass of activity to make this contest buzz. We need double the number of stations and possibly a more limited use of the band

    G3ZHE   
    Good fun but lots of QRM with Euro skip all over. 100w, 90ft doublet at 30ft and 30ft asl

    G4BUO   
    Even slower than the CW leg. We NEED the 80m CC entrants to get involved in the sprints as well, to make them more fun!

    G4FNL   
    The first of the RSGB SSB Sprint contests. It was a bit slow, and it could do with a few more competitors. Perhaps things will improve over time. I did find myself slipping into the trap of automatically sending signal strength reports - oops!

    G4HSU   
    FT-897 Doublet antenna

    G4OOC   
    Enjoyed the contest no end

    G4RCG   
    Great fun again really enjoyed it and SD was super with the frequency readout showing you the right place to S&P and CQ

    G4TQF   
    Good event, very enjoyable and relaxed format compared to the CW event which, to me, was very daunting. Quite a lot of deliberate QRM'ing by operators using data modes suggests to this operator some thought/consideration  needs to be given to other users of the bands. Would less rather than more power help? Reduce rather than increase band scope? 

    G4ZFE   
    K3, 100W to W3DZZ at 28 feet. My first SSB Sprint and great fun

    G7SKR   
    My first Sprint-style contest. Seemingly fewer people about. Enjoyed the format.

    G8FCQ   
    1st ssb sprint pleasant & friendly

    GW0ETF   
    A rare foray into phone contesting and an intermittent mike plug connection kept halting proceedings. Enjoyable nonetheless and particularly enjoyed the super smooth VOX of the Elecraft K3.

    GW4BLE   
    My usual 80M dipole was found to be u/s just twenty minutes before the contest (it had been fine a few hours earlier), so had to revert to a 1/4 wire (sloping West).

    M5FUN   
    Lots of noise on the band here. Sufferring also from a cold so just really giving points away. Last CC Sprint before going back to university, hopefully can be QRV again from MM land!

    MM0GPZ   
    Only active last 40 min. Used SD but didn't know how to configure rig control at short notice. But SD worked well other than that.
